 METHYL ETHYL KETONE PEROXIDE: METHOD 3508, Issue 2, dated 15 August 1994 - Page 4 of 5 After 4 hrs at 1 L/min airflow through impingers containing MEKP standards in DMP, less than 10% of the MEKP carried over from the front to the backup bubbler. The RSD of slopes of the calibration line determined from three levels approximately to 100, 170, and 210 µg/10 mL sample obtained over a six-month period was 9.8%. When the standards and samples were run on the same day, the RSD was 5.2%.
